That every otherwise stock, crappy compact in town that is festooned with a fart pipe and huge ineffectual rear spoiler feels the need to show off in front of me.

Seriously, though, on my 2000 GT it was the small patch of rust that surfaced on the RHS rear fender lip at maybe 135,000 miles, that by 170,000 was about 5" in length and pretty nasty-looking. But otherwise I loved that car.

On my new one it's the impossibly small door panel pockets; I have to use both hands to take anything out and I scrape my knuckles every time.

I wouldn't sweat that. It takes very minimal effort to get newer diesel trucks into the 12s.

For me, I'd say the fact that I didn't upgrade the rods and pistons when I had the motor out a couple of years ago. At that time, I never saw the car being able to make enough power to break the stock ones as long as the tune is good...and well...now I'm worried that it could pop at any time.

Yeah they are easier to get power out of due to the turbo and the conservative tune from the factory. Trucks are real popular down here so it gets annoying when a farm truck is faster than my car lol. Of course I wonder how it would have gone from a stop?
Also whomever designed the seat belts for Ford needs their head examined!

I think the thing that I hate the most is the fact that when I'm cruising down the freeway, the way my left leg rests, the door handle is jammed into my knee and I can't get comfortable because of it....

For the leak in the trunk check where the trunk meets the body alot of 99-01 had garbage seam sealer and a small rot hole develops in that area... dont ask how i know. Or check the third brake light too

Thanks...I've been trying to nail that down. It's an '03 but the concept is the same. My leak is just forward of the one amp (I've got the Mach 460) so it' coming from below the rear window. Certainly not the third brake light...I've got a Saleen wing on the car now.
